RULES AND REGULATIONS
CONCERNING
THE MISSING SENIOR CITIZEN ALERT PROGRAM

STATEMENT OF BASIS, STATUTORY AUTHORITY, AND PURPOSE

Pursuant to 24-33.5-415.8 C.R.S., the Executive Director of the Colorado Department of Public Safety shall promulgate rules and regulations to implement the Missing Senior Citizen Alert Program.  The Missing Senior Citizen Alert Program is a cooperative effort among the bureau, local law enforcement agencies and the state’s public and commercial television and radio broadcasters.

It was declared by the General Assembly that the creating and establishing of the Missing Senior Citizen Alert Program is a matter of statewide concern.  The absence of implementing rules to carry out the purpose of the statute would be contrary to the public health, peace, safety and welfare of the state.  For these reasons, it is imperatively necessary that the proposed new rules be adopted.
